The city spreads across the southern Fergana Valley with wide boulevards, colonial buildings, and modern infrastructure at an elevation of 590 meters.

Founded in 1876 as New Margilan after the Kokand Khanate submission to Russian Empire, the city received its current name after temporary designation as Skobolev.

The population of 321,800 inhabitants maintains traditions through educational institutions, including Fergana State University established in 1902, and traditional handicraft production.
